10. The mobile communication device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to: absent detecting selection of the selectable icon for forwarding the new voice call, reject, at the mobile communication device, the new voice call.

11. The mobile communication device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to: display on the on the display device, a second selectable icon for ignoring the new voice call and; in response to detecting selection of the second selectable icon, reject, at the mobile communication device, the new voice call.

12. A method comprising: at a mobile device comprising a processor, a memory, a communication interface, and a display device, receiving, via the communication interface, a new voice call while a current voice call is active at the mobile communication device; displaying on the display device, a selectable icon for forwarding the new voice call; in response to detecting selection of the selectable icon: retrieving, from the memory, one or more stored device identifiers, each stored device identifier associated with a paired computing device; displaying, on the display device, the one or more stored device identifiers; and, in response to detecting selection of a device identifier of the one or more stored device identifiers, forwarding the new voice call, using the communication interface, to the paired computing device associated with the device identifier.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the mobile communication device is associated with a platform identifier, and wherein each paired computing device stored in the memory is currently in communication with the mobile communication device and associated with the platform identifier associated with the mobile communication device.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein forwarding the new voice call to the paired computing device without terminating the current voice call comprises: establishing a communication session with the paired computing device associated with the device identifier; and, transferring the new voice call to the paired computing device associated with the device identifier using the communication session.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the new voice call is cellular voice call received from a base station of the communication network and the current voice call is a data voice call received from the communication network.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein prior to transferring the new voice call, transforming the new voice call to a data voice call, and wherein transferring the new voice call comprises transferring the data voice call to the paired computing device associated with the device identifier using the communication session.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein establishing a communication session with the paired computing device associated with the device identifier comprises establishing a session initiation protocol (SIP) session.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein transferring comprises transferring access permissions for a speaker and a microphone of the computing device.

19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the communication interface comprises a cellular circuit configured to communicate with the base station of the communication network, wherein the processor is further configured to: in response to receipt of an answer call command from the paired computing device, answer the new voice call using the cellular circuit.

20. The method of claim 12 , wherein the new voice call is data voice call and the current voice call is a cellular voice call received from a base station of the communication network.

21. The method of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to: absent detecting selection of the selectable icon for forwarding the new voice call, reject, at the mobile communication device, the new voice call.

22. The method of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to: display on the on the display device, a second selectable icon for ignoring the new voice call and; in response to detecting selection of the second selectable icon, reject, at the mobile communication device, the new voice call.
